The Investment Managers sector is highly responsive to economic trends. An ageing population, as well as the investment needs of the younger generation and of emerging countries like Iran continue to drive the sector.

The industry itself, however, is likely to consolidate around a smaller number of mega-managers and large niche players and an increase in the number of strategic alliances. Independent asset managers are becoming more significant. Regulatory scrutiny will only increase.

We draw on our Iran corporate, finance and regulatory expertise to advise investment management clients in mature and emerging markets on matters including corporate/M&A, regulatory, investment funds, employment, tax and banking.
